Staying grounded in your purpose in times of constant change.
Whether your business is scaling quickly, just getting started, or fighting through a tough stretch, one thing is true: change is constant.
That big new client lands. Budgets tighten. Teams grow. Talent leaves. Technology moves faster than most strategies can keep up.
In those moments, remembering why you’re doing this matters most. But when the pressure is on, that’s often when it’s hardest to stay focused on your north star.
Join Gather for an afternoon of connection, honest conversation and space to pause and reconnect with what really matters.

The 2025 Leadership Gathering focused on the theme of "Culture as a Catalyst for Strategy and Growth". We heard from a selection of world-class speakers including Irene Muller, CMO of Joolz, Dr James Kuht MBE, Founder of Inversity, Ged MacDomhnaill, Founder of the Climbing Hangar and Olivia Gautier, Principal at Verlinvest. Attendees enjoyed a choice of workshops centred around company culture and growth and ended the day with networking drinks overlooking the Liverpool skyline.
Gather’s Growth Workshop - part of the Barclays Eagle Labs Ecosystem Partnership Programme, funded by UK Government - centred around aligning your leadership team for success.
It was an afternoon of incredible insight, shared learning, and new connections that closed with the chance to network with fellow leaders.
Attendees heard from a fantastic all-female panel discussing the importance of aligning around values and culture; followed by an interactive and actionable workshop for better alignment delivered by our growth consultant Jon Minchin.
“High calibre people, insightful relevant discussions and information, and plenty of time to network and meet others in the same position”
Gather's Next Chapter celebrated the launch of our new business support programmes, providing a valuable opportunity for networking and building connections. Attendees heard fantastic growth stories from a panel of business leaders who have previously received support from Gather. Additionally, our programme director, Katie, shared insights into what's newly available for digital, creative, and tech businesses in the LCR.
We have hosted a range of alumni events for business leaders who have participated in one or more of our Gather programmes. These events provide the opportunity to network with other business leaders while participating in fun activities such as pasta making or receive relevant content to drive personal and business growth.
"The experience was such FUN! Great people running it, and lovely people to network with."

Ecosystem events bring together clients & partners in the LCR, creating the perfect environment for networking while also providing relevant content to business challenges.
